Sophie Ellis-Bextor has added six autumn dates to The Song Diaries Tour.

The British singer will be accompanied by a full orchestra and band at stops in Southend, London, Leeds, Gateshead, Basingstoke and Guildford in November, following up the initial summer leg. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on February 15.

The tour takes its name from Ellis-Bextor's upcoming orchestral greatest hits album, which is out on March 15.
